Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 265

The sky ripped open, unleashing an apocalyptic deluge.

Violent winds whipped the rain into horizontal sheets, completely blanketing the streets in a thick, blinding fog of water.

Struggling against the gale, Silas Vance practically fought his way over to Dante, gripping a massive black umbrella.

The umbrella violently inverted from the sheer force of the wind, and Silas was instantly drenched to the bone.

He bent over, grabbing the man collapsed in the flooded street, his mind completely reeling from the sheer shock of the sight.

Silas had served Dante since his earliest days at The Hayes Group. He was used to seeing a ruthless, calculating apex predator. He had never, in his entire life, seen Dante look this shattered and pathetic.

"Mr. Hayes! The storm is too dangerous! Get back to the car!"

The freezing rain had soaked right through Dante's clothes, plastering the fabric to his skin and driving a bone-deep chill straight into his chest.

His dark eyes remained fixated on the empty darkness where Quinn's car had vanished. His gaze was terrifyingly vacant, as if his entire universe had been obliterated the moment those taillights faded.

Silas yanked desperately on Dante's arm, but he couldn't pull him up. Panic began to set in.

"Mr. Hayes! The hurricane is about to hit! We have to leave immediately!"

He had no idea what Quinn had just said to reduce Dante to this state.

But this wasn't the time to play therapist. He had to get his boss off the street before they both died.

A Category 4 storm was nothing to gamble with. A flying billboard or a collapsing tree could instantly kill them!

"Mr. Hayes, no matter what happened, you cannot throw your life away!"

Gritting his teeth, Silas threw his entire body weight into hauling Dante up, shouting over the deafening roar of the storm.

Dante was completely dead weight. A suffocating, impenetrable layer of grief clouded his eyes.

"Silas... I think I've had it completely wrong this entire time..."

Dante tilted his head up. The brutal rain hammered against his face, washing away the tears spilling from his eyes.

Silas froze. Seeing his untouchable boss looking utterly destroyed twisted his stomach in knots.

Gripping the violently thrashing umbrella with one hand, he used the other to desperately hoist Dante.
